Moderator - many many spam topics in Russian (?)

Tim or whoever has magic abilities.
There are many (2 page long list) apparently identical posts from the same user (trustgas) in many different topic pages. All spam. Can you block the user and remove the posts please.

Yea, I been trying to knock them down. Now I'm at camp and no PC to work with. Cannot read this forum on a phone.

Well, you'll have plenty to do when you get back! Happy camping!

I saw that a few days back, and I used to be a Senior Moderator, but I don't have access to the moderator controls these days. The best I was able to do was click the "report to moderator" and hope that it actually went to somebody?!?!

4Campers · May 13, 2025, 10:30 AM

OK, think I got them all gone.
Dean and I are the only moderators, and I haven't seen Dean on here in a long time.
One thing, please don't click every one to send to the moderator. It makes for double work, once to delete the bad message, and then once for every moderator report.

I only sent one single "report"...

4Campers · May 16, 2025, 11:35 AM

OK, it was weird that every message had a moderator report. Maybe because they were all from the same member? And that's one thing I don't have the power to do, is delete a member.
Do you see any more?
Sorry for letting those go. Not being on my PC every day and I let my job go south.

Used to be able to block ISP, if it's from Russia I wouldn't hesitate to block the entire ISP.

Thanks Tim! Now we don't have to fire you!

Sorry I've not been on much myself but I just saw that. I'll try to remember to look at it tomorrow and see if there's a way I can block that

GoneCamping · May 21, 2025, 08:46 PM

Saw a new Russian post yesterday.

Dean, do I have the authority to delete members that post spam?

dno · May 22, 2025, 01:25 PM

I'm not sure, you can try. It's hard to believe it's been over 10 years since I sold PUX so I'm very rusty on the administration stuff. I think the only moderator I setup was 4Campers, but I can setup another, there are a few of you who are active.

dno · May 22, 2025, 01:59 PM

Hopefully taken care of I setup a permanent full ban, all the messages I could find are deleted.
